Have
you ever seen posters or pictures of someone laying in
the sails of a
ship or on the boom of a sailboat and wished that was
you? Have you ever seen pictures or posters of aqua
colored water or a
crystal clear blue sea and wanted to be there swimming in it? It can be
you and it doesn't cost as much as you may think to be sailing in the
Bahamas.

In the Bahamas whether sailing or cruising or even being in the Bahamas on a beach is a wonderful vacation. Bahamas sailing has the benefit of just you, the sun, the sea, and the sailing. And that is very peaceful. When I first saw the islands of the Bahamas appear as I stood on the deck of my sailboat I was amazed. In the middle of the ocean, in the middle of a sea I had just witnessed go from dark blue to an aqua or light blue and green was something so beautiful I had never seen. And as we got closer, trees appeared and houses appeared painted bright yellows, green, pinks and blues. It was very beautiful. It is a short journey from Ft. Lauderdale to Nassau or Freeport but one worth taking again and again.
Sailboats and power boats of all sizes cruise these waters of the Bahamas. If you plan to do Bahamas sailing be sure to do what is required by law for you to have your boat there. Customs and Immigration is located at Port Lucaya Marina, Grand Bahama Island. The marina phone number is 242-373-9090 ext 323or 325. Be sure to call them on the VHF for a pre-entry call for any details they might have. Boat entry to the Bahamas is a flat fee of $150.00 for boats 35 feet and under. For boats 36 feet and up it is $300.00 and this is for up to 4 people per vessel. This includes your cruising permit, fishing permit, Custom and Immigration charges and the $15.00 departure fee for up to 4 persons per vessel. Each additional person will be charged a $15.00 Departure fee. If you plan to stay over 12 months, special arrangements must be made with the Department of Customs and Immigration. This might seem like a lot to ask for a beautiful vacation in the Bahamas sailing but it is worth every penny.
